Improvement Of The Nutritional Value Of Soybean [Glycine Max (L) Merr.] Seed With Alteration In Protein Subunits Of Glycinin (11s Globulin) And \Beta-Conglycinin (7s Globulin), Behzad Kaviani, Ardashir Kharabian

Turkish Journal of Biology

Protein quality in soybean seeds is strongly influenced by nutritional conditions. Glycinin (11S globulin) and \beta-conglycinin (7S globulin) are the 2 main proteins in soybean seeds. Protein quality of glycinin (11S) is higher than that of \beta-conglycinin (7S), due to the presence of higher amounts of s-containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine) in glycinin than \beta-conglycinin. Of the amino acids in glycinin, 3%-4.5% are methionine and cysteine but these important amino acids are not found in \beta-conglycinin (especially \beta-subunit). Pot studies were conducted with soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] grown under various levels of KCl and CaHPO4 and the effects …

Selenium And Trace Element Distribution In Astragalus Plants: Developing A Differential Pulse Polarographic Method For Their Determination, Güler Somer, A. Cengi̇z Çalişkan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Astragalus plants have a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals (gum tragacanth), as thickening agents in foods, and may have applications in controlling cancer cells. They are used as feed for animals and they are indicator plants for selenium. Because of their use in health-related areas it is very important to determine their selenium and trace element content with high accuracy. A new differential pulse polarographic method was established for trace element determination (10 elements) and their distribution in these plants. The Astragalus plants investigated in this work are Astragalus microcephalus and Astragalus lusitanicus, which grow almost everywhere. Their roots, …


Modelling The Protein And Amino Acid Requirements Of The Greater Rhea (Rhea Americana), James Sales Jan 2007

Modelling The Protein And Amino Acid Requirements Of The Greater Rhea (Rhea Americana), James Sales

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Protein and amino acid requirements of the Greater rhea (Rhea americana) have been estimated from growth data available for this species, and assumptions derived with other closely related species. Differences in body weight and growth pattern caused considerable higher protein and amino acid requirements for males compared to females after 3 months of age. Whereas the absolute protein requirement is comparable between males (148 g/day) and females (144.5 g/day) at 50 days of age, 21.8 g/day protein is needed by males at 500 days of age compared to 12.2 g/day for females. Limitations include the lack of knowledge on feed …
